About this tour

Shared by both Greeks and Romans, this ancient treasure is located in the bay of Roses, in the town of l'Escala. It is the oldest and most important Greco-Roman archaeological site in the Alt Empordà region. In fact, it contains the most significant Greek remains on the Iberian Peninsula. Excavations are ongoing, with approximately 75% of the site still underground.
